Hello, I'm Dr Paul !

Thank you for reading this short message.

I am credentialed in Australia in social work and have 33 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, and family matters.

I am very happy to be here and hope that, maybe, I can work with you to discuss your concerns, issues, or problems that you may want to talk about.

I am really easy to talk to (!) and I am sensitive.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.

I am here to support and walk with you in that journey.

Warm Regards

Dr Paul O'Neal

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
